Data transfer

Some functions involve the transfer of large volumes of data between the handset and the external device. In this case the handset switches to data transfer mode, Data Transfer appears in the display. In this mode, you cannot make any entries via the keypad and incoming calls are ignored.

In the following situations, the handset switches to data transfer mode:

◆Read/write access to the directory

◆Read/write access to the email directory

◆Read/write access to the network access list

◆Read/write access to the the appointments list

◆Read/write access to the last number redial list

◆Loading screensavers

◆Loading melodies

If an error occurs during transfer, the handset automatically switches to idle status.

Making and accepting calls

If you dial a number from an external device or accept a call from one, the handset will respond as if you had executed this function on the handset.
